[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comagnum:
I'm switching to the nexus tomorrow and giving my brother my evo4g (he doesn't care about rooting and things of the sort) and being that there's a multitude of roms available for the ns4g which do you guys recommend? It's hard to weed through all of the replies with user issues on installs, failure to read instruction, and overall issues to find content helpful.

Basically I'm more interested in battery life + performance. Not too big into themes unless there's something that is really clean, and I need stability as I use my phone very frequently. Heavy web browsing, texting, emails, games, everything I used to do on my pc, my phone has now taken its place. I guess something similar to what team tiamat offers, if anyone is familiar.

I'm really excited for the opportunity to finally root again. My xoom has lost its luster to me, lol.

Thanks for the help, and I'm really excited to join you all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
I'm just gonna copy/paste what I replied to someone with the EXACT same post less then a month ago...

Honestly there is no "best" rom. Some like cm7 the best, some like stock the best, some like rom xxx or yyy the best.

You will get 100 different answers if you ask 100 people. The best rom is the one that works best for YOU. Honestly what I would do is (assuming you already flashed cwm recovery) back a backup of your current setup, flash a different rom and try it out. Don't like it? Restore your backup. Try different rom/kernel combinations and see what works best for you and your phone. There is no "best" overall, just whats best for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comagnum:
My apologies. Didn't really do a thorough search of the q/a forum. Kind of difficult with this being for both the 4G and the other. Thanks for the input, though :)

I was hoping to weed out the trial and error and just try a couple. But I have the time, so why not right? Lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
As long as you have CWM you can backup and restore roms no problem. Personally I use the stock AOSP 2.3.5 ROM w/ dreamforgotten's quickpanel mod found in the theme section. CM7 gave me freezes, but your mileage may vary. Take a look at the ns4g dev section and see what sounds appealing to you. I will tell you the matr1x kernel is my fav kernel so far and I use it on any ROM I've used
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comagnum:
Thanks for the insight. I too liked what I read about the matrix kernel. I'll give it a go.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
Good luck and any help you need just post. Feel free to hit the thanks button too :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comagnum:
I don't know how to give thanks via the xda application lol. I'll sign in through the browser and do it in the am. Thanks for your help, again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marchena:
Hello, I personally find my rooted stock ROM 2.3.5 to be quicker and snappier than CM7. I am using Netarchy Nexus 1.3.7 CFS 2.3.4 Kernal (Stable) and it's extremely quick.

However, I read good reviews on the Matr1x as well but when I flash it, Wiping Dalvik Cache using Rom Manger; my ROM won't boot. Which Matr1x are you using and how's you battery life and stability? Please provide a link as well in case I was using the wrong source.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marchena:
Nevermind got the Matr1x - cfs (any rom) running with rooted stock Rom and I have to say WOW! way better than my previous kernel, Netarchy Nexus 1.3.7 CFS 2.3.4 Kernel. In addition, it scored higher on Quadrant.

I hope not to see any cons, but I def recommend this kernel and stock rom is fast out the box.
[Acer Iconia A500] xjestersdeadx:
4G.

That's it! That's the reason why my new Iconia beats the heck out of Verizon's new Galaxy Tab. Oh wait, you say, Iconia doesn't have 4G? It also doesn't have Verizon's new tiered pay plan. I'm very happy with wifi and free tethering thank you. (Just so you know, I'm on Verizon's old unlimited plan, and have three Fascinates...so I'm not a hater of Samsung).

There is nothing more annoying then constant advertisements about the new Galaxy telling you "faster uploads" and "faster downloads"...and everything they promote takes tons of bandwidth! No mention of their plans in the whole ad.

They show some guy (hanging out of a moving jeep on a beach!) using his tab to take a video of running horses...and then touting how he can upload his videos via 4G. That must be one serious film maker. I wonder if he falls in the $20 a month 2 Gig plan? How about the $50? How about the $80?

So are you happy with your Iconia and wifi? Or would you prefer it have Verizon's 4G, even with the new plans?:D
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
I bought a Galaxy 10.1 and returned it to buy my Iconia. I wanted to be able to connect tablet to my tv with HDMI and use usb devices on it at the same time, I could not figure out a way with the Galaxy so I called Samsung and they said it was impossible.
[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:
I originally wanted the Galaxy 10.1, mainly because I have the original and was very pleased with it. However the USB host and HDMI out won me over. I wasn't sure how much I would even use those features in the beginning, but it turns out I use them all the time.
[Acer Iconia A500] Thanar:
There's nothing quite like connecting it to an Xbox 360 controller to play games.
[HTC EVO 3D] derekfaircloth:
Got my cable today and I definitely recommend getting one. Its awesome playing games and movies on the tv

There's gotta be a little lag though or no?
[HTC EVO 3D] hypersonicx:
Apple sucks ballz

lol \

sounds like a hater.

what was the point of this thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] derekfaircloth:
Actually I've owned two iphones and an ipod. My hate comes from theit whiny lawsuits against everybody that's a threat. I would like an ipad too but due to their gay lawsuits I will not support them no more. The point of the thread was to express how good the cable works if anyone was on the fence about getting one.

And I have gotten no lag on mine at all

What is with all the nazi posts on peoples threads lately? This is general is it not? Damn

Apple sucks ballz
[HTC EVO 3D] dstorm:
is yours s-off? After s-off mine will no longer recognize.
[HTC EVO 3D] derekfaircloth:
Yea I'm soff running mags rom

Apple sucks ballz
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
Did you try a "Shut yo mouth" and a pimp slap?

Where did you get yours and how much?

I confused the crap out of like 5 best buy employees the other day asking about one. I was surprised when none them got pissed when I started explaining it real slow. "need cable go from here on phone to this(points at hdmi cable) on tv" They did try to sell me the micro hdmi cable for the evo 4g at least.

The best was there was a older gentleman asking a employee there if you could phone calls from the original galaxy tab because it says verizon on it, the kid said "yes sir you can" I'm standing 4 feet away "No you are wrong" then after about of a minute of explaning why he was wrong the kid disappeared. I stayed and talked to the older guy about tablets for a while and showed him some cool stuff on honeycomb. My nearest best buy is over a hour away so I try to have fun while I'm there.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
ive tried multiple times to fix this but it doesnt work. Last time i posted a thread here i said my phone was broken and i was not able to fix it because of the usb connection problem i had, so i talked to the company and they sent me a replacement but i still have the same usb connection problem, whenever i want to plug in the usb cable to my pc, the phone recognizes the connection but my pc doesn't. i talked to the company about this and they said ' Unfortunately, we don't have any information regarding this issue.", i do not know how to fix this. I've tried uninstalling the usb drivers and re installing them but nothing seems to work.

some of you suggested to try to take out the battery for 30secs open odin plug the usb in the phone hold vol up and down then slap the battery in while still holding keep holding it and if a com sign comes up in odin flash it even if screens blank, but it didn't work. i tried heimdell but it doesnt recognize my phone. if i cant use that, it means i cant root my phone and change the annoying tmobile boot animation. so pleaaaassee can you find a fix for this????, ohh by the way it didn't work when i put it in the download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
please

does anybody know how to fix it??? pleeeeeeeeeease
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm assuming that you downloaded the 64 bit drivers? Try downloading the 32 bit ones. I read somewhere that it worked for some people.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
or try installing kies and then plugging in the phone. go to install --> drivers in kies and let it install. then unplug the phone, restart the computer and try again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
imusing the32 bit drivers
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
it didnt work, im going to have to buy another cablee to see if thats the problem,thanks for being so helpful jager555
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Also, don't forget to try to hook up the phone to another computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
ive tried this in 3 different computers
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Are you trying to odin or just transfer files to sd?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
If it's not the computer or the cable it's the phone. You've narrowed it down. Send it in for warranty?

The phone should work as mass storage with no drivers whatsoever. Pretty much any modern OS out right now will be able to recognize the phone with the drivers it come with and let you access the SD card of the phone, so yes, looks like the phone's the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
hmmmmm

i believe its the cable. Im going to try to get a new one and see if it works, cuz the phone i got right now its a replacement that they sent me from the company, so its new and i dont think its the phones problem.And yes im trying to odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Can you take format the sd card from ths phone (make sure to back up all the important stuff.) Then take off the phone. Use the computer to put a different rom on the root. Flash the rom using cwm. Let the phone sit to build the cache. While it is building, uninstall the current drivers. Reboot. Then reinstall using the drivers from the bible. Put the phone in download mode and plug the usb into a different port. Lol, but try this after you get the new usb cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djj.p:
thanks

i dont know why they always hate on you but you're a really cool dude who knows what hes talking about, thanks
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Hi guys, I was flashing some ROMS, and as I was running out of space on my SDCard, i decided to format it. I went ahead and backed it up on my pc, then formatted (mounted as disk drive on CWM on the phone). After that, I transferred my next ROM to the SD Card, ejected and unmounted it from my PC, and tried to install it on the phone. When I hit install from SDCard on the phone, it threw me the error (E) can't mount sdcard. So i thought, well, maybe the format was done wrong. So I formatted it again, this time out of the phone. Put it back in, same error. Looked for another SDCard, same error. So, I panicked. I looked for the PG58IMG.zip to reinstall recovery, and transferred it to the SD. Powered on my phone to bootloader, nothing happens, it just "scans" my SD but finds nothing. So I panic even more, and I'm now downloading the official TMO Ruu to flash to my phone, although i have a feeling it won't work. :'(

Any ideas?

BTW mounting the sdcard as a disk drive in Recovery works.

BTW#2 I have no working ROM right now on my phone, because i was experimenting with the new leaked 2.3.4 before this happened. I just wanted to try out Leedroid, but since I didn't have much space on my SD, i formatted it.
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
What happens when you try to format the SD card in recovery? Can you even access recovery??
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
I can access recovery and format the SDCard. I tried to flash the ROM via fastboot but it didn't work. I'm so nervous I'm just gonna try to flash Stock.

Any other ideas are welcome though.
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
So when you format the card in clockwork can you mount it and copy a file to it then read the zip file from the phone? or not. You may brick it trying to flash it to stock if you can access clockwork its most likely not bricked
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Ok so the phone booted up after flashing stock, but it still can't read any SD Cards. Seems the Sd card port got fuxd up. :(
[HTC Sensation] byrdman164:
Can you flash ANY other roms?

EDIT: I hate when I think I'm responding to something only to find I'm behind everything...haha
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
Well if you can read the SD Card with the usb cable in clockwork mod it isnt fuxxed up, Do you happen to have any other sd cards or another phone that can read that sd card? can you format the sd card in the android os? read it with astro or a similiar file explorer?
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Go to the setting > Mounts and storage then unmount the sdcard or mount whatever is available then unmount/mount again and do this 2 times. Then when the card is mounted, connect the phone to the computer using the normal USB cable and select 'Disk drive' on the phone and then probably if your computer shows the 'scan and fix' option for the sdcard then you're safe! I think It's your SDCard which got screwed not the port, cuz you played with it bit too much! If this doesn't work, no problem, go to HTC's service center and tell them that the card is faulty, they'll replace it!

Stupid Derek :)
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
nope. The Sensation doesn't recognize my SD Card AT ALL. :/ I've tried with three sdcards. Maybe the port got fried or something?
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
It could have, didnt you say that you could read the sd card with the usb cable connected when you were in recovery? Check the pins make sure none of them are bent or anything.
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Hi arz, I wish it were that easy, but I've tried three different SDCards :(

I'm now returning everything to stock, already flashed the stock ROM, now working on S-ON and contacting HTC. I can't believe this just happened. :( :(
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Oh ****! Then it could be that only! :( Sad.. Best of luck!
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Now I'm more ****ed up :/

I tried to get S-ON back on my phone to send it back to HTC, and now I am stuck on the Security Warning Message. I am S-ON though. But, whenever I try to rerun the RUU, it tells me there's a signature error. What should i do?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
This is exactly what i had dude when i semi-bricked

Its the security message in purple at the top like this

***security warning***

Pyramid PVT Ship S-on RL

Did you use Super CID first?

what device is yours, Tmous, EU, voda or what?

Flash the same rom as you had using RUU.exe and be patient with it

Try a different pc, download it from the link in post 1 or here

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1074559

If you have supercid

try this one RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1

thats what restored it for me.

i know the feeling its crap. but atleast your S-on

dude it has to work

run it as administrator too
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
I have seen a similar error several times in past devices. Usually just doing a "fix permissions" takes care of it. If you still have root, go into rom manager and do "fix permissions".

SN: If you do contact HTC be honest about what happened to the phone. Don't try to lie your way into a replacement device. When you removed S-On and gained root, there are certain risks that you took on with your device. People who take on those risks, subsequently cause a problem to their devices, and then send the phone back to the manufacturer are the cause of having an encrypted bootloader to begin with (Since manufacturers are starting to feel like they have to protect themselves from these exact type of scenarios).
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
If your device is a T-mobile USA try that one.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cb7...00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed.exe

one question.

Did you restore to stock

install clockwork recovery

then go to S-on?
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
There's an alternative fastboot method for flashing the RUU if you're S-ON. I can't say for sure that it will work (so no responsibility taken) but the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command does put the phone into the correct state. If you want to try, extract the rom.zip from the latest T-Mobile RUU and follow these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958968
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
You tried s on yet dazweeja?
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Ok, guys, thanks for all the help. I haven't tried anything else, but just wanted to give you guys some more info.

1) I do not have superCID.

2) I am not lying to HTC, because what happened to my phone has nothing to do with S-OFF or whatever. It is a hardware failure, when I formatted my SDCard while inside the phone, maybe it burned the port or something happened to it.

3) Yes, I am a little scared lol.

4) Yes, I am S-ON right now. Just with the warning message on the top in the bootloader.

5) No, the phone doesn't boot up, it just goes straight to the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
I am as good as a Noob, but ...I will pray for you... Good Luck....
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Trying flashing the latest ruu for your area. Some one else had this problem but they just fixed it using the latest ruu
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Since I'm TMo, there's only one RUU, and it gives me signature error when I run it. I will redownload the RUU on a different PC and see if it works.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
If u did try to S-ON it with a custom rom, you are pretty much screwed. Either you try to RUU it with the right version for your phone (http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?ca...&model=Pyramid) or u send it in for RMA. As i explained before, S-ON with custom rom is not a wise path to choose. If you want to read up a log with exactly this issue, read this.

If you did something else, give us more details.

I flashed RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed

I followed the all the directions

And as I was typing this I got it to update to RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed.exe

EDIT: Just got it to boot all is well.

That was posted on my thread by kylez

Hope this helps someone

Try that. There are two tmous ruu try both
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
No, it doesn't have a custom RUU on it, i followed all the directions on your thread, EXCEPT SuperCID.It is stock +S-ON+ The Security thing on the hboot :P

I'll keep you posted on what I try and the resuilts...
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Try that latest tmous rom
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Did you make sure the sd cards are pushed all the way in? It's possible that it's just not inserted completely or correctly.
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
I wish it were that, man :(

I'm 100% sure they're correctly placed, plus, I can mount them as disk drive (or could, before I got stuck in the hboot trying to get S-ON back).
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Any luck with the ruu?
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Downloading it right now... crappy internet connection; 12 minutes left. BTW do you know the difference between these two RUUS? I didn't know there were two for TMOUS.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
ones an updated stock and ones stock

Is it flashing?
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
I downloaded the 1.29 RUU from shipped-roms and I think it may be corrupted, because it wouldn't let me start the flashing. Lemme find another link.

-Downloading from file factory.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
ok, keep trying, if you have any problems ill upload it for you too in about half an hour
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
It seems to be flashing now. Lemme hold my breath and cross my fingers ...
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
OMG thank you so much man, I can't believe how much I owe you. My phone is back to a functional state, maybe you should add that to your guide? First flash the 1.27 RUU, then S-ON, then the 1.29 RUU. I would donate to you but I'm just 14 y/o, no money :( But rest assured that you just made someone VERY VERY happy. Now to test if the SDCard works or not...
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
omg man this even fixed my sdcard problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg omg omg thank you so much! :')
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Hats off to you. well done I'm glad it sorted it for you. Headache over

Lol.

I told you this happened to me and I recovered using ruu.

I woudlnt have put up the guide if i didnt take the risk

the night i was playing with S-on i semi bricked mine exactly like you. I was choked with tears because i only got the device two weeks ago as a replacement for the voda branded sensation htc lost 3 weeks before that.

After 2 hours i managed to restore it using RUU.

Edit your thread and put fixed in square brackets. that way other people who get semi-bricked like you will know what to do
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Now you do not need to return it to htc. Enjoy your phone dude :). You made me happy to knowing it's not bricked its fixed lol

So Your thread change it to [FIXED] Help please! As good as bricked? :(
[HTC Sensation] elburna:
So did I get this right? What you did was:

- Flashed a stock RUU (but not the correct one from your operator)

- Tried S-On --> Semi-Bricked

- Flashed TMous 1.29 --> Brick was fixed and Device back to S-On?

Im asking because i want to send in mine as well (TMobile Germany) and think of taking the risk of flashing TMous --> S-On --> Fix it via flashing TMous again. This way it would be S-On with at least a TMobile Rom installed (maybe the guys from TMobile dont recognize if they just see "S-On" and a TMob-Logo on Startup).

Do you think that the flashing and S-On prozess would work as described?

Thanks for any answers!

EDIT: OK tried the TMOUS ROM and the bootanimation looks completely different... Well i think i got 2 options. Either flash the HTCStockROM and hope, that nobody at TM recognizes/looks out for S-OFF or hoping for the release of an official TMobEUROM before my 14days returnperiod ends... :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Thewalrus0034:
I posted this same thread on the Nexus S forum, hoping to get the other side of the story here.

Hi, I'm leaving for college the 17th, and want to get my upgrade before I leave. Originally, I was gunning for the Atrix, but the Pentile Display, Motoblur, and poor software/hardware integration were deal breakers. So, I've narrowed it down to the Samsung Infuse 4G, and the Samsung Nexus S, and might exchange them within the 30 day period if the Samsung Galaxy S II comes out.

I'm just going to list the pros and cons for each, as I see them, and if any of you can provide feedback (especially those on AT&T) that would be great.

Nexus S

+Pure Google/Stock Android

+Will get Ice Cream Sandwich

+SAMOLED

+Community backing

+4" Screen

-1GHZ Cortex A8

-No Guerrilla Glass (don't know if that's a deal breaker)

-Supposed radio problems on AT&T

Infuse 4G

++SAMOLED+

+Battery Life

+Infused ROM provides stock Gingerbread

+1.2GHZ Cortex A8

+Thin/light (helps offset screen size)

+ Guerrilla Glass

>4G, then again this is AT&T

-4.5" Screen

-Might not get Ice Cream Sandwich

I'll use the phone for web browsing, email, messaging, calling, a video or 2 on the go maybe, occasional doc editing/tweaking, apps for weather, news, etc. Not big on the 3D gaming really.

Thanks!
